A/c
What is the best fitting A/C unit for inside the cab? I have all the other components, just need the inside cab part. The one I have now has vacuum operated valves and that has got to go

Re: A/c
I bought the "Old Air" inside unit with the contoured under dash vent. I haven't installed it yet but they say you can retain more of your glovebox than the other ones. I also got the retro looking controls. I also have a RenCool electric compressor with remote condenser from down under.

Re: A/c
I have installed Vintage air on a few and it works really good. The controls that came in the kit for 47-53 truck was just a simple plastic piece, works well but depending on the rest of your build you might want to build your own panel to install the switches in. 55-59 truck has an option for deluxe controls.

Re: A/c
mr48chev, yes with the new motor the vacuum be low, and I have had both vacuum and electric valves, electric mechanical work a lot better. Also Ritchie's Machine, does not want to shorten my 9" ford rear end. guess he is just to busy, Going to go with Dutchman's Shipping will kill me
